Loving the herd life
We got lambs for 4H on Saturday. We have the 2 lambs penned together inside our small barn while they acclimate. I noticed yesterday that one has a smelly watery green substance on her back. I also noticed the same substance in the pen on the bedding this am. There was also at least one fresh normal poo that I could see in the bedding. They are not on pasture but are given lots of hay. We didn't have access to the exact same feed the farm had them on, so I bought the same brand and am giving them just a couple handfuls total once a day. They were on Purina Honor Show creep DX (20% protein) and I could only get the Honor grower DX (18% protein). They were wormed and vaccinated before we took them and appear fine otherwise. Both are eating and drinking and acting normal. Should I be concerned? Should I hold off on the grain completely? I was planning to slowing increase the grain over the next two weeks but maybe I should hold off till I witness both pooping normally.
Thanks in advance!
